Umpire Ruling - 2nd time
Situation - This is youth softball - grades 5th thru 8th. Bases are loaded. The basecoach calls timeout and the umpire grants time. The basecoach walks out 10 feet in front of 2nd base and calls his 3 runners to that point. The basecoach wanted to instruct his runners of the situation without yelling across the diamond. The 3 leave their bases and come to the coach who is out between 2nd base and 3rd base. The umpire seeing what has occured, immediately ended the conference saying it was illegal.
What is the ruling ?
